The Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan to Meet in Krakow
There is no progress in resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, said today the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after his talks with the Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian, RIA-Novosti reported.
"No progress," said Lavrov said after the meeting with Nalbandian. The Armenian Foreign Minister agreed with Lavrov, adding that he would not say the situation is at an impasse.
"In the near future a new meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs is prepared - it will be in May, after a few days in Krakow. A meeting at the highest level is not excluded," said Nalbandian.
"So the process does not come on, because one of the parties is at a non-constructive position and rejects almost all the suggestions of the co-chairs," Nalbandian said, referring to the destructiveness of Baku. -02D-
